My Life Can Be Simulated Infinitely – Chapter 12

Ch 12: It’s Not Easy to Make Money

A moment later, Gu Yang, with the two women, had already reached the edge of the marsh. On an open space, he set them down.

He looked at the two women with a suspicious gaze, “Can you really produce thirty thousand taels? If you dare to deceive me, I’ll send you back to the village.”

Zhixing quickly said, “How would this servant dare to deceive our benefactor?”

Su Qingzhi, on the side, took advantage of the moonlight to size up the man who had saved her from the Over the Mountain Wind bandits for the first time.

He was dressed as a hunter, his hands were covered in calluses, and his face indeed showed signs of being weathered by the sun and wind.

But this was definitely not an ordinary hunter!

Because the way he looked at her was completely devoid of any fluctuation.

It wasn’t that Su Qingzhi hadn’t encountered men who were indifferent to her beauty, like Zheng Renjie from before, who was one such example.

But such people were either from large families, accustomed to beauty, and had great ambitions, with a strong will that beauty couldn’t sway.

Or they were experienced and cunning old foxes.

Logically speaking, a hunter from the mountains shouldn’t have such behavior.

Also, this person was able to kill the Over the Mountain Wind bandits, so his strength was also extraordinary.

More importantly, this person actually knew that the people who attacked the stronghold were from the Liu family…

Su Qingzhi couldn’t quite see through the man in front of her. Her mind raced, and she asked, “How do you know those people were from the Liu family?”

Gu Yang, seeing that she was completely clueless and still using a questioning tone, said somewhat impatiently, “They’ll be chasing after us soon, you don’t have much time left.”

Su Qingzhi was annoyed by his impolite attitude. When had she ever been treated like this by a man?

Even in the Liu family, on the surface, they were courteous to her and didn’t dare to be the slightest bit disrespectful.

Later, after being kidnapped to the mountain stronghold, even the crude and uncouth Over the Mountain Wind bandits were well-behaved in front of her before tonight, not daring to be the slightest bit rude to her.

Thinking back to before, after this person knew that the Liu family was coming, he didn’t hesitate to abandon her and run away.

Until Zhixing said that she could give him thirty thousand taels, he immediately turned back.

Greedy, crude!

Su Qingzhi mentally labeled this man with these two tags.

“Miss.”

Zhixing knew her young miss’s temperament. She grabbed her sleeve and whispered, “If we’re caught by the Liu family, we’re done for…”

Su Qingzhi, thinking of her parents’ great revenge, could only suppress her resentment. She turned around and took out a stack of paper from her close-fitting clothes, throwing it into Zhixing’s hands.

Zhixing presented it to Gu Yang, “Benefactor, here are thirty thousand taels in silver notes.”

Gu Yang took the silver notes, which still retained Su Qingzhi’s body heat. He opened them and saw a total of seven or eight notes, with the words “Sihai Bank Silver Note” written on them. The amounts ranged from ten thousand to several thousand. Added together, it was exactly thirty thousand taels.

He tried opening the system and selecting “Recharge.”

There was no response.

He looked at Su Qingzhi and said, “You wouldn’t be trying to fool me with a stack of fake silver notes, would you?”

Su Qingzhi, seeing that he didn’t even recognize Sihai Bank’s silver notes, disdained to speak to him.

Zhixing quickly explained, “Benefactor, please rest assured. Sihai Bank is the largest bank in Great Zhou, with branches in every prefecture. These silver notes were personally given to my young miss by the master, and they definitely aren’t fake.”

Gu Yang, seeing that she said so, could only tentatively believe her. He put away the silver notes.

“These thirty thousand taels can be given to you, but you must take us to Ping Prefecture.”

At this time, Su Qingzhi spoke.

This was an unfamiliar place name.

Gu Yang asked, “Where is Ping Prefecture? How far is it?”

Zhixing explained for her young miss, “Benefactor, Ba Prefecture is east of Jiang Prefecture, and Ping Prefecture is west of Jiang Prefecture. It’s about a thousand li away. If we travel by water, it would only take about half a month.”

It was a bit far, but it was worth it to make thirty thousand taels for this trip.

Gu Yang then agreed, “Alright, within my capabilities, I can protect you.”

He didn’t make any absolute promises. If he encountered a situation beyond his control, then he could only apologize.

◈◈◈

Thirty thousand taels was not enough for him to risk his life.

Su Qingzhi warned, “Don’t think about abandoning us halfway and running away with the silver notes. These are silver notes exclusive to my Su family. They can only be exchanged with my signature. When we get to Ping Prefecture, I will personally go with you to Sihai Bank and withdraw the money.”

In other words, these silver notes were just like a passbook?

Although Gu Yang found it troublesome, there was nothing he could do.

No matter which world it was, money wasn’t that easy to earn.

Thirty thousand taels was not a small amount.

He remembered that when he was just a hunter a few days ago, it had taken him two years to save up ten taels of silver.

How many years would it take to save up thirty thousand taels?

Thinking this, he immediately felt relieved.

◈◈◈

Gu Yang first went to meet up with Zhang Xiaohai.

“Young Master, you’re back, huh?”

Zhang Xiaohai was hiding in the same spot. Hearing the noise, he turned his head and recognized Gu Yang. He was overjoyed, but then he noticed that there were two women following behind him. In the darkness, he couldn’t see their faces clearly.

However, there were only two women in the stronghold.

Zhang Xiaohai naturally guessed the identities of these two women and was somewhat shocked.

So, the Over the Mountain Wind bandits were really killed by the young master?

Gu Yang didn’t waste any more words, “Let’s leave this place immediately.”

The four of them took advantage of the darkness and left the marshland.

He remembered the man-eating monster behind the marsh, so he didn’t dare to go in that direction.

He wasn’t very confident that he could evade the eyes of the Liu and Zheng families with three burdens.

Not to mention Zhang Xiaohai, who had never practiced martial arts.

The little maidservant, Zhixing, had practiced a bit, but she hadn’t even entered the ranks.

That young miss who was ranked thirteenth on the Red Beauty List was also as weak as a chicken.

The Liu family definitely had seventh-rank martial artists. Whether they had sixth-rank ones was unknown.

That Zheng Renjie from the Zheng family had at least a sixth-rank cultivation.

With Gu Yang’s current strength, if he encountered either of those two groups, he could only run away, let alone protect them.

After walking for less than an hour, suddenly, Su Qingzhi cried out, almost falling to the ground. She had twisted her foot. Supported by the maidservant Zhixing, she refused to walk any further.

When Gu Yang had taken on this task, he had guessed that the journey wouldn’t be smooth. A young miss like this, who had been pampered since birth, probably had never experienced any hardship.

Now it was early spring, the mountains were unusually cold, the mountain roads were difficult to travel, and it was night.

Gu Yang could only find a cave nearby to rest first and think about it tomorrow.

Anyway, he hadn’t expected to be able to shake off the Liu and Zheng families so easily.

They were able to find Wang Family Gully, which proved that there were people in the team who were good at tracking. At most, they would probably catch up tomorrow.

Running away was useless. The only way to solve this trouble was to get rid of those two groups of people.

Just in time, he would use this time to increase his strength.

Gu Yang sat at the entrance of the cave and opened the Life Simulator.

【Do you want to use the Life Simulator? Using it once consumes five hundred gold.】

“Yes.”
